Kitchen
A simple Rust CLI for simple Rust programs. (A work in progress!)
What
Kitchen is a simple Rust CLI tool that aims to automate some of the tasks needed to run single file Rust applications built by cargo new
. Right now, I plan on making 2 commands:
kitchen cleanup {foldername}
replaces your entire folder withmain.rs
renamed to the folder name. Used when you finish the problem and just want to store the code.kitchen create {filename}
turns the{filename.rs}
back into a full blown project!
Why
As a novice in the Rust programming language, I find myself learning primarily through programming problems. These solutions can almost always fit on a single file, so what choices are there to simply run a single rust file?
rustc
is a good option but it fails when it using dependencies such as the random module, giving an unresolved import
error when you're not on main.rs
.
cargo new
is the default, but they make an entire folder to store a single file! It is overkill when you just want to store the code once you finish. Deleting and renaming files to solve this over and over again gets really annoying.
Maybe there's a better way I just didn't see, making this entire package obsolete. Nonetheless, a CLI tool is pretty fun to make.
